1. Committee Business (Continued from Monday)

• Structure and name of the groups we have: 
• The Board has asked if we want a name change-- something more like: Cataloguing and Metadata Commission?
• Discussion on this topic and process for decision and next steps 
• Should we create a new Sub-Commission (group) related to Standards? (cataloguing standards like RDA and/or the ones below)

2. UniMARC

• Review of the Permanent Unimarc Committeee, which Massimo is now a full member
• The establishment of a 623 field for the bibliographic format - next steps at IFLA in Cape Town August 2015 - proposal
• A review of authority fields 128 (form and key or mode) and 146 (medium of performance) 
• Unimarc Authorities 223 
• Massimo has mainly worked on example 2, dealing with the new fields 231, 241 and 242 of the FRBR version of the format, and using the 523 version (related access point) of the field.
• This allows to use 5xx fields for names, and $4 relator code.
• There are several versions of this example, seen from the perspective of the 223 and of that of the title or author/title of the work or expression, using both the text by Zeno and the music settings of Galuppi and Sacchini. 

3. ISBD

4. BIBFRAME

5. DOREMUS Project

We have been contacted by Françoise Leresche and Rodolphe Bailly on behalf of the DOREMUS project (http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/?Projet=ANR-14-CE24-0020). This project, which associates Bnf, Philharmonie de Paris and Radio France, is funded by the National Research Agency in France. It has been designed to publish on the Linked Data Web (in RDF) a repository of musical works by converting their corpus of works and interpretations into a comprehensive model based on FRBRoo. Françoise Leresche (BnF) is steering the modeling work, Radio France is also data provider, and there are three research laboratories as technical partners.

DOREMUS is now trying to identify existing repositories to align them using semantic web technologies. In this context, our lists of musical forms and medium of performance, which are maintained by the former Subcommission on UNIMARC, have been identified.

They would like to discuss as soon as possible about a collaboration between IAML and the DOREMUS consortium to convert our lists in RDF and make them available on the Linked Data Web.

As this is already the intention of IFLA and of the Permanent Unimarc Committee to complete the publication of UNIMARC vocabularies in RDF already present in the Open Metadata Registry (http://metadataregistry.org/user/show/id/63.html), Massimo and I think that this proposal is a great opportunity for the work that has been done and that it is important to accept their offer, and to consider how this collaboration could be formalized, so to start the work as soon as possible. It is important to underline that some work will be necessary to allow the conversion of these lists in RDF - so their help is of the utmost importance - and that working meetings will be necessary in New York, in order to have clearer ideas of the best way to proceed.
